ForumsHQ

I'm brand new to these forums and I wasn't sure where I should post this thread. I had just reset my game of mud and then downloaded and installed Nightmare for the first time. When I opened up Nightmare (the beta version) the first time my Worldgroup server was up and running and it caused me to get a btreive 20 error (or something like that). I closed Nightmare and restarted Worldgroup and I kept getting the btrieve error. I would also get this btrieve error when I would try to start the MajorMud ultilities. So I ended up deleting Worldgroup, Nightmare, and MajorMUD off of my harddrive and reinstalling everything again. I havern't tried running Nightmare while Worldgroup is running again for fear of getting another btrieve error, but now I am getting some much more messed up. I reset my game, made a character and went into the game to find that everything is *ucked. Rooms are whacked, theres money laying everywhere, there was limited items laying on the ground, there was the iceforge anvil in ts, lots of screwed up stuff. I've posted a capture of some of the stuff I'm witnessing at the bottom of this thread. I have deleted and reset my mud game over and over to see if I could get rid of this, but it keeps happening. I'm running v1.11i+patch and I've tried going into the game with just h installed, etc, and I keep finding my realm *ucked. If someone knows what's going on or can help, please do. I'm not sure what is going on, but everything was fine and dandy until I installed Nightmare.



Thanks

Temple Healer

The hall's lofty roof is supported by graceful soaring archways, and the

walls are crafted of white marble run through with silver streaks. There is a

priest waiting here to heal the wounded. She smiles kindly at you as you

enter. A small bowl of silver nobles stands on the table she sits behind, and

you can see it is nearly full. A stone stairwell descends into the catacombs

of the temple at the rear of this room, and you can exit into the main hall to

the south.

all i can say is i remember having this problem when the converter 'converted' twice...

Uh, just click ok or whatever on the errors, then goto settings and set it for your directory to of your worldgroup/mud files. And as for other problem, run offline recovery =P

If you are trying to reset and start fresh, then why don't you just install v1.11i fresh?





as for your btrieve problems...



*DO NOT EDIT MUD'S DAT FILES WHILE WG IS USING THEM!*



wait that may have been a little harsh... lemme rephrase



*DO NOT EDIT MUD'S DAT FILES WHILE WG IS USING THEM!*



Sorry, I'm just sick of telling people this. It may seem like it's working at times but we have no idea what may happen. All sorts of things could go wrong if mud went to access or update something at the same time nightmare was trying to.



-syntax

It simply won't compile an update if you try to do that. I tried fixing someone's race yesterday, but since the user dat is constantly in use, it wouldn't let me compile the update. Another program is accessing that file or some shit. Backing up often always helps too. I'll post the race problem in another thread.
